West Coast Swing with Anne Fleming
Workshops and Dance
Saturday, January 21, 2023
Norwalk, CT
I have known Anne Fleming for almost my entire 26-year journey in West Coast Swing. She was the friendly dancer that I would see any time that I went to the New England area for a dance event. Anne and I rose through the ranks of the West Coast Swing world together. We even drew each other in Jack & Jills (random parenting competitions), making us an odd pairing. You see, Anne was one of the tallest followers in the All-Star division, and I was one of the shortest leaders. Nonetheless, we both understood West Coast Swing and trusted each other deeply. The last time we were randomly selected to dance with each other, we placed first.
While I have loved dancing competitively with Anne, I have admired how she has developed as a teacher. Anne makes West Coast Swing fun and humorous for every student. She breaks things down in ways that makes challenging moves seem easy. I feel so honored that our dancers are going to experience Anne's enjoyable approach to West Coast Swing.
